Pipe bending table

[jonas.andersson3538Q]

Hi all,

I am searching for the pipe bending table when I create a pipe with the Tube and Pipe tool. I have seen some suggestion in this forum to create a sketch and dimension that, but this function should be a part of the Pipe and Tube. I am rather new to Inventor and running version 2019 so maybe I just dont find it, or it is added to later versions?
Attached is an example of how it looks in Solid Edge (that I used earlier).

in your assembly you can select the tube in the browser and select "Bending machine output".

Hi Theo,
Thank you for the reply.
I do not have this in 2019 so I am looking forward to get a newer version. The output from this, is it a readable text-file that can be used to make a table in the drawing?

Hi Jonas,

This is available in R2019 as well. make sure you are editing your piperun that contains your tube. then you can select your tube and choose for bend machine output. The output file can be opened in a text editor. you can copy the data to excel to use it as a table source in your drawing:
